Anyone know this city?



Image doesn't work. :no:

It wasn't working for me either. So I had to copy the image out of Victor's post and copy it into my address bar. Try clicking the direct link: http://www.destination360.com/north-america/canada/images/s/canada-cn-tower.jpg

Yes, I know the city... Toronto. I was there (and in the CN Tower) last May. :yes:

Just came across this news:

Quote
    ATLANTA, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- With a new 12,500-square-foot HD
facility on track to be completed this month, The Weather Channel has
passed a significant milestone in the HD project begun last May. The next
steps will be to install 10,000 square feet of access flooring and 480
electric circuits for studio lights in the new facility that adjoins
company headquarters. By early May, sets will be in place for the start of
rehearsals from the four- story-high HD studio. The Weather Channel is well
on its way to the launch of its first HD studio programs, Your Weather
Today and Evening Edition, on June 2.



    Other new developments include:
    -- A new Master Control room for overseeing both SD and HD programming
       already in operation.
    -- Completion of a state-of-the-art technology center, an area located in
       TWC headquarters that is the backbone of all network operations.
    -- Launch of a new program in January, When Weather Changed History,
       which adds to the existing native HD  series, Epic Conditions and
       Weather Ventures.
    On the distribution side of its HD initiative, The Weather Channel has
reached agreements for carrying The Weather Channel HD with all six of the
top programming distributors. These are: Charter Communications, Comcast
Cable, Cox Communications, DirecTV, EchoStar Communications and its DISH
Network, and Time Warner Cable. In addition, the network has signed HD
agreements with many other cable companies. Launches have already been
completed in many markets and others are planned for upcoming months.

    "The fact that all six top distributors are on board to provide The
Weather Channel HD to their customers attests to the value of TWC HD in
satisfying the growing public demand for HD programming," said Becky
Powhatan, executive vice president for distribution and business affairs
and general counsel for The Weather Channel Companies.

    She went on to explain -- "The Weather Channel content is ideally
suited for HD because weather is so visual, be it the stunning outdoor
shots in our series or live in-the-field coverage during hurricane season.
We're following an aggressive transition schedule to premiere the first of
our live HD studio programs in early June with others to follow until
virtually our entire 24-hour programming schedule will be in native HD
before the end of 2008."

At 10:06 PM ET, the screen went black, then the satellite LF made an appearance for a few seconds before the commercial break.

Anyone notice that there are still some timing issues? At the end of the LF at 9:58 PM ET, after the STAR had finished the local forecast, the satellite LF was exposed for another 5-10 seconds.

The Skytracker was still working interestingly enough  :huh:
Yeah, that was quite strange that SkyTracker was still working. I had expected them to have used the old radar images, or even the NEXRAD radar feeds.
I miss the old radar images, especially the ones (and I'm trying my best to describe this) the circle-type radar image that had the name of the state labeled.
That would be that the NEXRAD radar. :yes:

How did the makeshift graphics look like?
Really, they were noting more than a some maps, radars, and satellite images with the generic titlebar at the top. No fancy WeatherViz 200 graphics or anything. :P
